Longwan Village is a fishing village near the sea, and there is traffic between eight village groups (natural villages). The common Minnan dialect is Leizhou dialect (Li dialect), which recognizes that ancestors originated in Putian, Fujian. According to genealogy records, most ancestors migrated and settled in Leizhou, Suixi and Dongdao during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of 120 ~ 600 years. There are more than ten surnames: Wang, Chen, Li, Deng, Peng, Shen, Xie, Fu and so on. Among them, Longshe Village, which has the longest human history, has been bred for 26 generations and Shannei Village for 24 generations. There are only five generations in Gu Wu village. Longwan people have been sweating on this hot land for generations, engaged in farming, fishing, agricultural planting and other production activities, and prospered their homes.

Before liberation, life in the countryside was extremely difficult. Poor farmers usually eat sweet potatoes mixed with porridge and water. They are not full. I live in a thatched cottage with rammed earth walls, which is not sheltered from the wind and rain. Many people left their homes to make a living and died in a foreign land; Some girls sold themselves as maids and suffered a lot; Some people drowned in the sea before they reached adulthood. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, with the development of economy and society, farmers' living environment and quality of life have been greatly improved, and "two worries and three guarantees" have been realized. Many farmers live in buildings, drive cars and enjoy a better life.

Hundreds of years of reproduction have formed a local culture with strong marine characteristics, which has been passed down from generation to generation without interruption.

Promote learning and teaching

In the old days, the public land was mainly ancestral halls, and the rental income was used to manage ancestral halls and public welfare, subsidizing students' study and running schools, which was called "steaming land". For example, "Cai Ying School", which was founded in the winter of 1938 during the Anti-Japanese War, is the earliest rural school in Longwan area, and its funding source is "steaming fields". Today's elite schools have already stepped out of the narrow ancestral hall space and developed into "municipal civilized schools" covering an area of 1 hectare. There are three primary schools, namely Cai Ying Primary School, Longguang Primary School and Xin Ming Primary School, with more than 20 teachers and 200 students. It has a fine tradition of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching, and there are many talented people.
